Would you consider the audio edition of How the Grinch Stole Christmas to be better than the print version?

Seuss is silly, Matthau is comical, together they present a great Christmas story with lots of emotion. I can't think of any other person to read this story. Delightful!

Matthau and Seuss, a pair!

I'm no child but I've always loved this story when I saw it was available in audio I had to buy it. i was not disappointed and its short so that I think that my grandkids will sit still long enough to listen to it as well. I loved the narration I saw the story in my head.

We enjoy watching Christmas movies every year in December. Now we've added Audible books to our tradition. The Grinch Who Stole Christmas is perfect. The narrator has just the right storytelling inflections to keep the listener engaged from beginning to end. We love it!

An annual treat.

I just love the story of How the Grinch stole Christmas. I would read it to my grandchildren every Christmas. When I found this one on audible and found out Walter Matthau was the narrator I jumped for joy. Now my grandchildren love his voice reading the story. They said grandma "we love the way you read too " but the narrator sound more like the Grinch. I agree I like his voice too.

Loved it!

Favorite Christmas Story

What other book might you compare How the Grinch Stole Christmas to and why?

A Christmas Carol because it is about a grumpy old grouch finally getting the Christmas Spirit.

What does Walter Matthau bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Who better to play an old Grinch than a Grumpy Old Man?!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Definitely, especially in front of the Christmas tree with some hot cocoa and cookies.

Everything is perfect about this but the last song. I imagine they could not get the copyright. I missed that part because I wasn’t prepared for not hearing the song! Now, I know and I’ll be fine. The rest was fabulous.

Not the right song!!
